Maybe we can get some TV Coverage . ESPN doesn't broadcast north of the border.

Be careful what you wish for ....

Say what you want about ESPN, it is a major sports network. If you're a motorsports series and are not on a major network, you are not going to get much attention at all.

I wonder if a very small piece of the decision was the countless times ESPN let women's softball, soccer, ______________ (you fill in the blank) run long and push back their drag racing broadcast. That drives me nuts!

I know what you mean but for me it can't be worse than nothing .

Re: NHRA boots ESPN!
 

If your motorsport is on at 2AM, and get's pre-empted by every rain delayed stick and ball B.S. sport on the planet, you aren't going to get any attention, period.

*gasp*

Does this mean there will ACTUALLY be class cars on a broadcast?

I know, I know, wishful thinking...

Hey, Kevin Cradduck was on the broadcast for the GatorNationals 3-4 years ago, when it came back from commercial, for about 15 seconds, they even mentioned his name, and it wasn't because of a crash. We were stunned, Top Fuel racer Scott Palmer actually called us and told us about it, and someone here on class racer was nice enough to make us a DVD of it.

Was Calvert's Fairlane in that broadcast? I remember watching the drags on TV 3 or so years ago and all of a sudden there were a couple of vintage muscle cars toeing the line for a SS final and I instantly decided I had to get back to the track.

I don't think so. They came back from commercial and ran video of the orange 69 Camaro (the stocker) in one of our trademark front wheels in the sky launches, not sure you could even see the other car. It started as the front end came up and ended right after the 1-2 shift and the front wheels touching down.
